body reflections (Lawrence Fritts )

Dear List,
In his very thoughtful and comprehensive summary of Sound Level
Meters, Michael Gordon mentions the influence of body reflections on
the measurement.
A recording of a balloon pop in an anechoic chamber (available at
http://theremin.music.uiowa.edu/MIS.balloonpop.html) serves to
illustrate this point.
Cordially,
Lawrence Fritts
